Boys soccer upset in first round

October 23, 2023

Boys soccer team huddles up before their first-round playoff game against Indiana on Saturday.

The boys soccer team had high hopes going into WPIAL playoffs.

After not losing a single game in section play en route to the team’s first section title since 2013 and only yielding seven goals in those 14 section games with seven shutouts, they were looking to make a deep run in the postseason.

Unfortunately, stubborn Indiana had other plans.

The No. 4 Hawks matched up with the No. 13 Little Indians in the first round of the WPIAL playoffs at home on Saturday.

While the Hawks continued their defensive ways, shutting out the opposing squad for the entirety of regulation and overtime, they also failed to score, despite several chances.

Their fate was decided in a shootout which the Indians won 4-1, thanks to excellent goalkeeping from the Little Indians keeper.

It was a devastating loss for the Hawks since it meant the end of their season, but it certainly didn’t reflect their play.

Indiana will move on to the quarterfinals to meet No. 5 Montour.

Click, Click! Don't miss your shot!  Make way for Allison “Ally” Wolling, a brand-new member of Scholastic Publications! Now a senior, Ally plans to make her mark on the newspaper and the yearbook this year. Ally has had her claim to fame in photography around Bethel Park for over two years. Though she photographs many different activities around school, she has a clear-cut favorite: “I really like shooting football mainly because you can get a lot of cool action pics and I love the atmosphere on Friday Night.” She is a part of the Quill and Scroll International Honors Society, a prestigious organization that recognizes scholastic journalism. That is not all; Ally is a valued member of Blackhawk TVand Homecoming Committee, and she also runs her very own photography account on Instagram (Go follow her at @_awmedia71_)! On top of her activities, she is an esteemed golf and lacrosse player. Most days after school, you can see Ally going to work, sports practice, or finishing up any homework she has left. If Ally wants some tasty food, she will make her way to her favorite restaurant, Plaza Azteca: “I normally get 2 chicken quesadillas or enchiladas with queso.” When she has nothing else pressing on her to do, Ally finds her own ways to chill out: “My favorite way to relax would be watching Soccer Arsenal (Premier League), playing XBOX or sleeping.” “I joined this class because a lot of people over the years have recommended me to take it.” Well, we are glad she did! After high school, Ally wants to keep playing golf and continue her photography journey. This year, Ally is determined to make her senior year fun and exciting. “I want to make memories that will last a lifetime.” Be sure to catch Ally this year and all that she does!   Written by: Tacey Trypus, Staff Writer
